This grim but revolutionary DNA technology is changing how we respond
to mass disasters - MIT Technology Review (No paywall)

events.

What Do Students at Elite Colleges Really Want?

Despite the popular image of this generation — that of Greta
Thunberg and the Parkland activists — as one driven by idealism,
GenZ students at these schools appear to be strikingly
corporate-minded. Even when they arrive at college wanting something
very different, an increasing number of students at elite universities
seek the imprimatur of employment by a powerful firm and “making a
bag” (slang for a sack of money) as quickly as possible.

court documents, tax records, emails and other messages reviewed by
The Times. Many of the details of her life, including those of her
divorce settlement, have not been reported.

But unlike the other two, Seattle and San Francisco, Washington is not

Militarily, the incursion seems intended to stretch Ukraine’s
already thin and underequipped forces by diverting troops from the
